This comes as Premier of Limpopo, Dr Phophi Ramathuba, participated in the ongoing Intra-African Trade Fair 2025 (IATF2025) in Algeria this week where she made a business case for the province to prospective investors.

Business Report witnessed a closed-door meeting on Saturday Ramathuba had with Denys Denya the executive vice president of the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), which organises the IATE.

In an interview, Ramathuba confirmed that the IATF2025 allowed the provincial government the opportunity to engage with the bank and gave some details about what they engaged on.

“We had a one-on-one session with their Executive Vice-President to show areas where we would need the bank to assist like in the development of the cargo terminal at the Gateway International Airport, the investment in feasibility study of the high-speed rail link between Limpopo and Gauteng and investment in our Special Economic Zones in Fetakgomo-Tubatse and Musina-Makhado,’ Ramathuba said.
